Mine does, at any rate. I'd personally prefer not to see the entire kernel configuration with every configuration problem. The same goes for dmesg. It tends to obfuscate the simple cases, though I'll grant it's sometimes necessary for more complicated ones. In this particular case, I'd be more interested in seeing the relevant dmesg output.
